WORKING ELEMENT 18.5FR

About WORKING ELEMENT 18.5FR

An 18.5Fr Working Element is a critical component of the resectoscope set, used in urological endoscopic procedures. It serves as the interface between the surgeon and the surgical field, allowing for precise resection, coagulation, and excision of tissue.

Uses of the 18.5Fr Working Element:

1. Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP):

   • Removes excess prostate tissue to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), relieving urinary obstruction.

2. Bladder Tumor Resection:

   • Used to excise tumors in the bladder lining for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.

3. Tissue Vaporization:

   • Facilitates vaporization of tissues using energy-based electrodes for minimally invasive surgery.

4. Stricture Management:

   • Assists in the treatment of urethral or bladder neck strictures by removing obstructing tissues.

5. Coagulation of Bleeding Vessels:

   • Stops bleeding by using electrical energy for coagulation during or after resection.

6. Foreign Body Removal:

   • Aids in the extraction of small foreign objects or stones from the bladder or urethra.

How It Works:

• The working element holds the electrodes (e.g., loop, roller ball, or knife), enabling controlled movement for resecting tissue or coagulating bleeding areas.
• It is connected to a telescope for direct visualization and paired with an energy source (monopolar or bipolar).
• It integrates with the irrigation system to ensure a clear surgical field during procedures.

In essence, the 18.5Fr Working Element is indispensable for performing precise, minimally invasive urological surgeries
